Min. Farrakhan addresses the 2006 Essence Festival
By the Honorable Minister Louis FarrakhanGod's Plan for Our SalvationThe Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

So instead of putting their hope in a messenger, they put their hope in Pharaoh. So when the Children of Israel were in the wilderness, they said their lives were better under Pharaoh than after becoming independent. So in the wilderness, the slave mentality took over.

God told Moses to send someone to spy out the land, which he did. The spy came back and reported that the land was ready but that there were giants in the land. God urged the Children of Israel to go forth in the land, assuring them that He was with them. He wanted them to defeat the giants, so their name would be remembered and His Name would be glorified for what they did in His Name. But they were slaves and refused. So God concluded that they were not the people that He wanted. So He said that He would let them wander in the wilderness until they died out, but allow their children to inhabit the Promised Land.

How does this scripture relate to events in 2006? In Deuteronomy 18:18, God tells Moses about a future people: “I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, Moses, and I will put My words in his mouth and he will speak unto them all that I shall command him and it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My Name I will require of him.” You do not need a man like Moses unless you have a wicked king like Pharaoh and a nation like Egypt that would enslave a people who belong to God for 400 years.

Black people have been in America for a little over 400 years. Is it our land or a strange land? Strange customs are carried out in this land but Black people have adopted all the strange customs of the stranger. This is not the way that we lived in Africa or the Holy Land. We have adopted all of the ways of the stranger and have become estranged from ourselves.

The scripture says that the “nation they shall serve will I judge.” America is under divine judgment as we speak. This nation is falling, not because you put it down, but because the hand of God is against America for her evil done to Black people and others, but mainly Black people. The enemy is very smart and knows the identity of Black people according to scriptural prophecy. He knows our destiny and he knows that God is after us.

“My God he calls me, he calls me by the thunder, I hear him call within my soul. I ain’t got long to stay here.” We used to sing those kinds of songs in the church. You don’t have long to hang out in the bar room, crack house or whorehouse. You don’t have long to party, shaking your behind and being the low-life creature that the enemy has made. Those days have come to an end. Within the next year or two, whether I am living or dead, you will face every word that I am about to tell you. I am not here for your entertainment. The government of America and wise theologians know the scriptural identity and destiny of Black people. That is the reason the scriptures say, “We war not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.”

The White man mistreated Black people in the church because racism and White supremacy are embedded in the church. So we were forced to form our own churches, such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Holiness and the Pentecostal. We are deeply religious and make more sense out of religion than all of the White preachers put together. Black preachers are some of the best preachers that ever stood up to preach. There is no one like Bishop T.D. Jakes. There is no one like Reverend Thurston of the National Baptist Convention. There is no one like the Pentecostal Bishop Patterson. You are anointed by God because you are the people of God, but you are following your slave-master to his doom and he is taking you down with him.

Pharaoh saw the Children of Israel multiplying and he hatched a conspiracy to kill all the male children and spare the female. What is happening to the Black male today? The Black male is being destroyed in front of our eyes. In colleges and universities, as high as 60 percent of the student population is female and 30 to 40 percent male. The Brothers are on the corners, selling drugs, stealing, making whores out of children and imprisoned. They are not bad people—it is circumstances. The enemy has crafted social engineering to kill and crush the Black male from rising into the Promise of God.

Some say young Black men just need education; yes, but not the kind that you have received because the White man has made you a doctor that heals nothing. We may have a doctorate in Economics, but the economic condition, not only of your people, but America, cannot be healed with your doctorate degree. There are medical doctors and psychiatrists, yet the country is full of sick people. The White man gave us education to serve his interests and only the interference with those of consciousness in that education can cause that education to work for us. Michael Eric Dyson is one of the most brilliant Black men that we have today, but he is in a White university.

I heard that my Sister Mo’Nique said that Reverend Jesse Jackson was pimping. We are negative on each other but God does not judge like we judge. We may judge a present circumstance and its negative impact, but God judges by putting the positive on the scale with the negative so that good outweighs evil. You may not think Jesse will be in paradise, but wouldn’t you be surprised. How much have we benefited from this Brother? We might have a problem with this or that aspect of Jesse Jackson but, from my heart, I say to you that he has served Black people immeasurably when he stood up to become president of the United States and beat the best of White people in debates. He gave every little Black child hope that we could rule this country. There would not have been a Governor Douglas Wilder, New York Mayor David Dinkins, entering corporate America.

So be careful when you talk about Jesse Jackson. Respect him for what he gave us all and leave his judgment to God, for the scripture says, “Judge not, lest you be in danger of being judged.” I would respectfully say to my Sister, Mo’Nique, whom I love, if you got in trouble with the police tomorrow, you would be happy to see Rev. Jackson show up on the scene. I do not care what you think of Reverend Al Sharpton and Marc Morial. You can take us all apart if you want, because we are standing in front of you so our mistakes and errors are evident. But we destroy our leaders by focusing on the negative but do not balance it. The slave-master taught us to destroy each other and that is why we kill our leaders.

***
I am not compromising with this world. I hate this world and I want to act with God to wipe this world off the map so that the Kingdom of God can be established on this earth, so that everyone in the Kingdom—Black, Brown, Red and White—can live in freedom, justice, equality and peace. I will be damned if corporate America is going to make me a punk because it can use money to influence people. It is time for every man who is going to be a man to stand up like a man, so that our people can go free. But your hope is in your enemy.

The plagues of God’s Judgment are on America. There is unusual drought and fire in the west and water in the east. The White man is worried about terrorists, but no one terrorizes like God. When God brings down His wrath, He is no respecter of person and He kills men, women and children. America is under Divine Judgment. If you keep your head in the slop trough, like the proverbial pig looking for something filthy to eat, then you will not see the storm clouds and lightning or hear the thunder pealing. America is not going to win the war in Iraq or any other war—tell President Bush I said it. America is going to have to reap what it has sown. Do you believe that scripture? You may not like what I am saying, but you will wake up in the morning and see disaster. God will destroy all the coastlines in America, which is written in the Holy Qur’an and Bible.

Our people must know that Judgment is here and not to come. We have to repent and clean up, or the chastisement of God is going to overtake us. You have been playing with God. Our rappers call our Sisters b-----s and whores, but when they get their awards for degrading our people, they say, “I thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” The White man will give you an Academy Award for calling your women out of their name and glorifying the pimp life, so you become a millionaire on degradation and you think it is alright. You glorify your low-down life, but that is where the enemy wants to keep you in order to make you unworthy of the Promise of God.

What is the Promise of God? That He will search the earth for that sheep that was lost and bring him again and settle him on the mountains of Israel. He will choose a foolish people to be His people—that is Black people. He will choose a people that is not, to bring to naught the things that are. He will vex you with a foolish people.

As I said to my dear Brother Tavis Smiley, you cannot make a covenant with Black people until they break their covenant with the enemy. The enemy has already let you go, but God has to strike America for you to know that it is time to go.

What are you going to do in the next few years, when the dollar—for which you sold your Brother out, turned tricks, betrayed each other, killed and robbed the elderly, sacrifice your life—when it is worth nothing. It is falling as we speak. America is angry with Iran because it intends to set up an oil bourse, where every dollar that buys oil is bought with the euro, instead of the U.S. dollar. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says he is going to make the ruble strong again. He has enough oil for Russian self-sufficiency and he wants to sell the oil for rubles, instead of U.S. dollars. While these countries begin detaching oil from the dollar, Asian countries have an abundance of U.S. dollars and America is borrowing money to keep her front up. She is $8.4 trillion in debt and has mortgaged the future of 10 generations for a dollar that will soon become worthless.

Pharaoh has let you go. It is time for you to let him go. You have to leave out of the mentality of a slave and get out of the mind that you need them to secure a future for you. The problem is that you hope in them and not in God and not in yourself.

This is the reason the scriptures say, “If my people, which are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.” America needs a healing. We need a healing. The world needs a healing. The conditions are plain. You must do something to make God know you are serious about your liberation. You must stand up and recognize God. You must humble yourself and recognize that there is nothing that you can do for your liberation without the Presence, Help and Backing of God. You must pray and seek his Face—meaning seek His pleasure—and turn from your wicked ways. I hope that you heard the soberness of this message. After the party is over, we must face the serious business of saving our lives and children, and possibly the nation, because America is falling and the president is taking it down.

May God shine the light of His countenance upon us and make us again the great people that we once were. Let go of Pharaoh and let us go with God and build a mighty, strong and righteous people for His Glory.

Minister Farrakhan speaks at Essence festival

Min. Farrakhan addresses the 2006 Essence Festival

By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan


God's Plan for Our Salvation
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

[Editor’s note: The following article is based on a keynote address delivered by Minister Farrakhan on July 3, 2006 during the concluding empowerment seminar of the three-day Essence Music Festival in Houston, Texas. Click here to order full CD/DVD of this message.]

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.

To my dear Sister Susan Taylor, words are inadequate to express my deep personal gratitude for you and the Essence family and the sponsors of this Essence Music Festival and all of those who backed your ideas that you could bring all of us together, so many leaders, teachers and scholars, that we may share with our people those thoughts and ideas that will raise and make our people better, and help us, with the help of God, save ourselves and our children.

I brought two books with me to the podium, the Bible and the Holy Qur’an. Most of you may not have a Holy Qur’an in your home, but most of you have a Bible. The Bible is not a book to have in your house and read, put it on a shelf and not pay attention to. To all of our great scholars and teachers, the Bible definitely has a plan for human salvation. There is no reason to talk about saving and rescuing our children without understanding that there is a plan in the Bible to do just that and then some. The Bible came before the Holy Qur’an, but the Qur’an, in our understanding of it, is a protector of the truths in the Bible.

Nothing that we desire to do can be accomplished without the help of Almighty God. So I want to hear His Name mentioned more and see more respect for the Creator. I listened to the rappers say that they want to be sexy, but you cannot love yourself if you do not know yourself. One of the things that the slave-master purposefully did was rob us of the knowledge of self, so that it would be next to impossible for us to truly love ourselves.

There is no circumstance in your life that is negative if you have a positive attitude towards what is deemed negative. A young man came to me one day and said, “Minister, my father molested me and I want to know why God would permit my father to molest me.” I told him that I do not know that I can speak for why God permits what He permits, but I would like him to look at his abuse in this manner. Many in this audience, particularly our Sisters, have been abused by fathers, uncles, cousins and so-called friends of the family that come into the house and scope a beautiful girl and deprive her of herself before she is able to understand herself. Why does God permit such things?

If the person who suffers can understand how many tens of thousands and even millions have suffered what you have suffered, with the help of God, if He brings you out of that, then He may use you as an instrument to bring others out of their pain of what they suffer. It is how you look at the circumstances of your life. There is no negative circumstance that remains negative if you have a positive attitude toward what is negative.

I want you to get away from the negative thinking of the negative circumstances that surround your personal life, that your negative circumstance was permitted by an awesome God, that He could bring you out of that circumstance and make you a saviour of those who suffer from that circumstance. You are destined to be world saviours. I will say it again. You are destined to be world saviours.

A wise God permitted us to come into slavery. I told a Jewish rabbi some time ago that Jewish people talk too much about Hitler and Black people talk too much about White people. I told the rabbi, “Sir, you have a covenant relationship with God. You should not worry about Hitler; you should think about why did God permit Hitler to do what he did if you are the people of God.” He said, “That is a highly theological question and we don’t discuss that.”

Black people talk too much about what White folks did, but God is the ultimate cause of all things either by His active or permissive Will. We must ask, Why God, did You permit our African Brothers to sell us into slavery? Why did You God, permit Arabs, Jews, Europeans and Africans to profit from the venture of the trans-Atlantic slave trade? Why God, did You permit the slave-maker to break us and take away our names, language, culture, history and religion? The White man reared us, so our women never saw our own mothers’ dressing room, for if they did, our women would be appalled today at the way they dress.

If our women knew our mothers’ dressing room, they would dress like our mother. But the White man deprived us of our mothers. If we knew our mothers, we would speak our mothers’ tongue, but we do not know one word of our mothers’ tongue because the slave-masters killed our mothers. Many Muslims were brought into slavery; the children were separated from their parents and reared to be slaves. Fathers would pray in the original language of Arabic, but when one of the children would speak in the mother tongue, the slave-master would kill that child. So as a hymn says, I could not hear anybody pray.

We grew up in America without the knowledge of ourselves, with the slave-master breaking the Black man because he did not want any Black woman to honor, cherish, respect Black males. He wanted the Black woman for himself so that he could, as Jill Scott said, dirty the water. The White man wanted to poison the stream that brings life to the nation. There is no hope for us if our women are destroyed. Women are the water of life of the nation. If the water is corrupted and poisoned, and women bring forth the children that are the future of the nation, then the children are corrupted even at birth.

The White man reared us to fear him and not God. Since the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God, he wanted to stand in God’s place so that we would fear him, that we would not disobey him, so he could then make a n----r. God does not make n-----s; the White man makes n-----s. If that is what you want to be, then you will remain as you are. That is why the word “n----r” is objectionable because it is the product of our slave-masters. He made us studs that went into Black women to produce children that we did not support. And unfortunately, that is our lifestyle today. We make babies, but we do not support them. Our women are hurting in great pain because we are not the men that we should be.

Sisters that do not know who they are, I would rather you not say that you are going to be sexy because that puts your beauty, charisma and fantastic self on a level that speaks of sex, which is biological but not on the level of who you really are. We must begin to understand self-knowledge, which will give us self-love. Many people love to say how much they love everybody, but are weak in the love of the Blackness of themselves, so who can trust you to say that you love everybody when you don’t love you. Jesus said the first commandment is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. The second commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Who is your neighbor? You are not in a White community, you live in the ’hood.

The greatest knowledge is the knowledge of self and the knowledge of God, together forming the requisite knowledge that will make all empirical knowledge valuable. If we do not know God or self, then our education will serve the person who gives it to us. We are educated by White people, not to serve our people, but to serve them. That is why many of us cry today, because you are looking for White people to create a job for you.

Nature makes every species look out for itself and its offspring, but the enemy destroyed our natural inclination to live, breathe, fight and die for the preservation of self. What are we doing in Iraq or Germany dying for someone else, when our first effort is to live for ourselves?
Sisters, who are you? Brothers, who are you? In the Bible, Genesis 1:26, God said He made man in His own image and after His own likeness. God is a spirit and so are you. If you are in the image and likeness of God, then God must be like you and you must be like God. The apostles asked, How can you love God whom you have never seen and hate your Brother whom you see every day? There is a kinship between your Brother and God, so you prove your love for God by loving your Brother. When God sees how you love another, He knows you love Him.

What about women? Did God create women in His image? Genesis 5 reads: “Male and female created He them and blessed them and called their name, Adam.” Male and female are Adam; male and female are twin sides of the One God. When men beat women, it is like beating yourself because she is a part of you and you are a part of her—and both are a part of God. When Sisters say that they want to know themselves, they should understand that they are God, which will immediately uplift their feelings and thoughts about themselves.

David the Psalmist said, “Ye are all gods, children of the Most High God.” But Black people have been taught all of our lives that Black people are ugly and cursed children of Ham, doomed to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for other people. It is a lie, Hamitic madness covered in the name of anthropology. Before there was Ham, Shem and Noah, there was Adam. What color was Adam? If Adam was White, Black people could not have been created genetically. According to Mendelian Law, dark skin is dominant and light skin is recessive. You can get the recessive from the dominant, but you cannot get the dominant from the recessive.

So Black children of Almighty God, you are the original life in the universe. That is why White people and others are called mankind—they are a kind of a man from the original. The Bible says from one blood came all nations. That one blood is you. So when you go home, stand in the mirror and take a good look at your Black self. Look at your beautiful bodies before you mess them up.

To the White people that may be in the audience, I am not a racist. I cannot stand racism. I do not believe that any human being should try to make themselves better than another according to the color of their skin. However, since we are your fathers and mothers, then you should honor your fathers and mothers that your days may be long in the land that our God has given you. Since Black people are the first, we are direct descendants from the Lord of creation, the people of God born with the capacity to reflect Him more perfectly—which can be proven from Genesis to Revelation.

One day, I want to make a subject on the great value of the White race. They would be shocked to hear such a subject from me. They have fulfilled a very great purpose. Without White people doing to us what God permitted them to do, we would not be the people that we are becoming. As the Bible teaches, “I did not try you with silver and gold. I tried you in the furnace of affliction.” When God wants to make a people for His glory, He does not make it easy on them. He puts forces around them to try, burn and purify them. Although they enter the affliction like dross, they emerge like fine, pure gold.

Why did God permit the enslavement of our people? In Genesis 15, God said to Abram, “Know of a surety that your seed is going to be a stranger in a land that is not theirs and they shall serve them and afflict them 400 years. And also that nation whom they shall serve, will I judge. And afterwards shall they come out with great substance and thou shall go to your fathers in peace and be buried in old age.”

The Children of Israel were in Egypt for 400 years. God sent them Moses. Was he an integrationist? Was Moses’ mission from God to integrate the Children of Israel into the Egyptians? What did Moses tell Pharaoh? Let my people go. After Moses came to Pharaoh, they were persecuted more. So, they cursed Moses and blamed him for the increase of their hardships. But then God began afflicting Egypt with 10 Plagues. The last plague that God brought was the plague of death. Those who believed in Moses made the sign of an ‘X’ using the blood of a lamb on the post in front of their house so that the death angel would pass over their house. After Passover and the death angel struck, Pharaoh told Moses to take the Children of Israel out of Egypt. But then he changed his mind and sent his army to kill them, and that is when God moved to destroy Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea.The Children of Israel were in the wilderness for 40 years, grumbling about their conditions of living and having to eat the same food every day. A slave mentality is a dangerous thing because when the enemy makes a slave, he makes the slave to love him more than they love God, Who would deliver them or

More to come!

Black preahers in Pompano Beach Fl oppose Mosque opening

[In light of the content of the following news article I have added the words of The Hon. Elijah Muhammad input on this matter as written in his book "Message to the Blackman" Bro. Mustafaa]

"They (white people) have nearly all of the poor black preachers on their side to oppose Allah, myself and Islam, the religion of righteous. They will fail and be brought to disgrace as Pharaoh's magicians and he himself were by Allah (God), for you have not known Him, or His religion, as Israel had not known God by His name Jehovah (Exod. 6:3)" The Hon. Elijah Muhammad

Over 60 people protest the opening of a mosque in NW Pompano

By Gregory Lewis and Ana Ribeiro South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted July 11 2006, 10:46 PM EDT

POMPANO BEACH -- Dozens of black residents, joined by some whites and Hispanics, rallied Tuesday in front of City Hall to protest a mosque's planned move into the predominantly black northwest area.More than 60 people responded to a group of ministers' call for the protest, demanding that the City Commission rescind the permission it gave the Islamic Center of South Florida to move into the neighborhood. The mosque plans to build a 29,000 square-foot center on a 4.8 acre site where many residents want to see affordable homes.




"A mosque is more needed in a community where you have Muslim people already dwelling,'' said the Rev. Aaron Wiggins of Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

"I believe they are trying to expand their territory,'' he said. "They are bringing Islam in a Christian community.''

Led by the Rev. O'Neal Dozier of the Worldwide Christian Center, protestors carried signs opposing the relocation of the mosque from the city's northeast area. Some called Muslims "dangerous" and "terrorists."

Dozier, who last week called Islam a cult, said in an interview that commissioners would face repercussions at the ballot box if they did not change their June 14 decision. allowing the mosque to move into the neighborhood.

said in an interview he hoped the protest would give city commissioners reason to "rescind the special exemption'' to the city's zoning code that rezoned land for the mosque. He warned commissioners that they would face repercussions at the ballot box if they did not change their June 14 decision allowing the mosque to move into the neighborhood.

If the commissioners didn't change their minds, Dozier said, he would sue the city.

Inside the commission's chambers, Dozier also repeated some of the rhetoric that prompted Gov. Jeb Bush's office to ask him to resign from Broward County's Judicial Nominating Committee recently.

"We must remember that no matter how peaceful many Muslims seem to be, their core religion's doctrine allows for no other faith to exist peacefully alongside them," Dozier told the commissioners during a public comment period.

Altaf Ali, executive director of the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, also showed up at the protest and said Dozier knew little about Islam. He called Dozier "a bigot,'' but added, "Despite the hurt in our community, we still want to sit down with him.''

"The commission has already approved the mosque, so any noise Dozier makes is irrelevant," Ali said. Not all at the commission's regularly scheduled meeting were against the mosque.

John Petrone, a 34-year resident of Pompano Beach, said he supports the mosque's move. Petrone, who is white, also rattled off the names of American Muslims, invoking the names of Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Malcolm X, whom he described as a "great man."

"Would they deny him a church in their neighborhood?'' Petrone asked. "I don't think so.'' Dozier said earlier that he opposed the Nation of Islam, often referred to as "black Muslims,'' who are led by Louis Farrakhan."

The Nation of Islam is corrupt," Dozier said. "Farrakhan is very evil. He poisons the hearts of young men and women." The commissioners had no reaction to the comments.

Cory Perez-Shade, chair of the Broward County Diversity Advisory Board, said that Broward County commissioners would like to see a resolution to the dispute.

"Things are being said when people are impassioned and not really thought through,'' Perez-Shade said. "Vehement rhetoric adds fuel to the fire. We want to prevent that rhetoric coming into other communities.

''For Assad Mirza, a Muslim attorney, Dozier is the source of that discord.

"It's disturbing to see a black man fighting against civil rights," Mirza said.

"We need a unifier,'' he said. "I don't see a unifier. That's why the world is the way it is today."

Every nation has a term

By
Brother Mustafaa Muhammad

In the Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful

[The title of this Article is from an ayat of the Holy Qur’an that teaches us every Nation has term or ending, and when the end comes they can’t avert it.]

Point # 6 of what the Muslims believe written by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad he boldly states:

"We believe in the judgment; we believe that this first judgment will take place as God revealed, in America." [From what the Muslims believe-Want]

When The Honorable Elijah Muhammad first declared these words over 40 years ago a great backlash of disagreement came from the Christians and Orthodox Muslims of America and the world. Many couldn't accept divine instructions coming from a humble Blackman, a descendant of slaves. This Messenger of Allah was condemned as a racist for declaring that the "White World" was on its way out.

We must come to an agreement today of this most critical point of belief. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote in his book Message to the Blackman, he says, “If what I say is not true it will not bear fruit, but if I say the truth then it will bear fruit in its season." If all of this is true than his announcement is of the utmost importance. If this Nation(America) will come under the Divine judgment of Allah(God) we must make sure we are on the right side, and how can we know the right side unless Allah rises up a Warner, or Messenger to enlighten us to these latest events? The Holy Qur’an teaches us that Allah never chastises unless he sends a Warner. Allah in his infinite mercy extends a warning to the people first by offering them a chance to come from under the divine chastisement that must come. If the people accept the guidance of the Warner they will be saved from the chastisement, but if they turn aside a deaf ear to the clear warning then they will be destroyed as former people have been destroyed.

The sins of America?

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote in his book Message to the Blackman, "make America know her sins" he also says, "The doom of America approaches and, there are many people who do not really know why." What are the sins of America? Today we must know clearly what has displeased Almighty God Allah which has set up America as the enemy of Almighty God. First, on the list is the unjust taking of this land called America, which originally belonged to the Native Americans, commonly called Indians.

According to the words of Prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah(Peace and Blessings be upon him) he is recorded to have said, Narrated by Abu Salama:

"That there was a dispute between him and some people (about a piece of land). When he told 'Aisha about it, she said, "O Abu Salama! Avoid taking the land unjustly, for the Prophet said, 'Whoever usurps even one span of the land of somebody, his neck will be encircled with it down the seven earths."

Narrated by Salim's father (i.e. 'Abdullah):The Prophet said,

"Whoever takes a piece of the land of others unjustly, he will sink down the seven earths on the Day of Resurrection."


Secondly, the mistreatment of the Black former slaves and the Indians.

The Black family was brought to these shores over 400 years ago, not to create a better future for themselves, but were brought to these shores to be the burden bearer of the Whites of this Nation. These people not only assaulted our physical bodies, they assaulted our mind as well. The worse form of slavery is the one in which the person doesn't know they are en-slaved. Today the children of slavery still walk around with chains on their brains. To those who may be offended, I ask: who taught you? Did they teach you knowledge of self? Do you know anything of your history outside of your slave past? If you answered -No- to any of these questions you may be still be functioning from a slave mentality.

America today balks at reparations for blacks by saying the act of slavery existed so long ago. We the blacks inherited from our ancestors the stripes of suffering, shame and black inferiority, while our slavemasters children inherited the wealth of America, which we contributed to creating. The push for reparations is not just limited to money, but we are asking for help in repairing the over 400 years of mental, physical, spiritual and economical destruction. The inability of America to even consider repairing the damage done to God's people puts them into a very hot seat. This Nation arrogantly will not even offer an apology.

Thirdly, the masses practicing savage behavior straying from the straight path of God.

On the back of America's one dollar bill we read "In God we trust" implying that this is a nation in obedience to the sovereign lord. In addition this country claims to be a Christian Nation exemplifying the best in Nationhood. The reality is that from Leadership to the followers America as a whole is a Nation steeped in sin. This nation can trust in God, but he can't guide us. There is separation of Church-state, no prayers in school and other irreligious practices by this Nation. God is separated from the everyday lives of the people, but one day has been reserved for his remembrance, Sunday. Everything God says in his scripture do not do-America justifies it and gives you the "Freedom" to do so. Prostitution is legal, Alcohol is legal, homosexual marriages are now becoming legal, prostitution is legal, gambling is legal, pork eating-selling is legal and any evil you can think of has a audience in America.

How can we know unless a Warner comes? ALLAH, Subhana Wa' Ta' Ala states in The Holy Qur'an Sura 17: 16:"And when we wish to destroy a town, we send commandments to its people who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so we destroy it with utter destruction." I think I have proven that America as a nation is under the judgment of Allah and is on her way out due to her sins. If all this is true then we should be looking for a man to come among us to give us Allah’s directions concerning this terrible time.

For 44 years The Honorable Elijah Muhammad preached the "Fall of America" within the very country that was falling. He warned the Blackman and woman of America to come out of her(America) so that we would not be partakers of her sins and plagues. As with Messengers and Warner's before he was attacked, considered crazy and out right ignored by the people whom he came to save. The world of Christianity, Judaism and Islam labeled him a religious heretic. With all the opposition he would simply say to his detractors: "They don’t have my mission."

After the rejection and plotting to kill The Messenger of Allah, Allah would have been justified in destroying us all. Jesus says in the Gospel I will send you another comforter. Since 1977 The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has been that comforter to us in the absence of The Messenger. He has been that strong voice of correction to the Wicked of America He has been a Savior for the lost black man and woman in America, and all who will hear him. The Mercy and Grace of Allah doesn't last forever, so we must all get our act together, if it isn’t together. ALLAH’s judgment is severe so says the Holy Qur’an and Bible. The Final Call has been sounded and the time is at hand.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's advice to America and the white race

All Messengers come with a double Message, one of Guidance and one of destruction if we reject that guidance. In accordance with this law Messenger Elijah Muhammad gave The White man and America a chance to come from under Allah’s wrath.

In his book The Fall of America The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says:

"This is the only way America could exist; by bowing in submission to the will of God, taught by his Messenger." Pg 230

Further he says:

"My advice to the white man is to make haste. Get in a hurry, if you want to live. Bow and submit to that great truth and righteousness, the will of Allah." pg230

The beginning of my walk with Farrakhan

By
Brother Mustafaa Muhammad

In the Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful


This article, by the grace of ALLAH, is the beginning of a series of articles detailing one mans walk with man he believes to be a Divine Leader, Teacher and Guide. I, as well as others, have benefited tremendously by the Leadership and guidance of The Hon. Louis Farrakhan.

I can truthfully say, as the Bible says, I was once blind but now I see. The person responsible for restoring my sight is The Hon. Louis Farrakhan, The National Representative of The Hon. Elijah Muhammad. I am forever thankful to Almighty ALLAH for this man and his ministry, which is the teaching of The Hon. Elijah Muhammad communicated to him by Master Fard Muhammad, which taught me the principles of discipline, honesty, chastity, respect for the Black woman and the knowledge of God and Self.


The Transformation

Except him who repents and believes and does good deeds; for such Allah changes their evil deeds to good ones. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. Holy Qur’an 25:70

The above quote from the Holy Qur’an, the scripture for Muslims, talks about a transformation. This particular Ayat(Verse) speaks of the historical transformation which Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) brought 1400 years ago. However, The Qur’an is a book and guide for all times up to the Day of Judgment. Therefore, the transformative powers of ALLAH’s words in the Qur’an are still able to transform individual, societies and nations.

I was not always Mustafaa Muhammad as you know him today. I was once a young lost, ignorant, promiscuous, and disrespectful person who didn’t respect self nor others. However, that was all to be changed by the grace of Almighty God. I was one of those young Black men who benefited from the Million Man March, called by ALLAH through Minister Farrakhan, by taking the steps toward becoming one with God through the process of atonement.

Little did I know at the time that this would be the beginning of a journey with God’s man, The Hon. Louis Farrakhan. Since 1995 I have overcome many weakness and have become an example of God’s transformative power. As we said in the Church, “God is not finished with me yet.” I am still in the path of my Lord working towards Self improvement which is truly the basis for community development.

Since 1995 I have made the following improvements

#1 I went back to school after quitting receiving my High School Diploma.

#2 I was able to enter college to further me “Education.

#3 I established a relationship my Creator and am walking with him daily.

#4 I have become active in my community through mentorship, volunteering in the jail and sharing my story of redemption.

#5 I have become a Student in the Ministry, something I could have never foresaw in a million years, which allows me to touch many with a word which can do for them what it did for me.

There are many more accomplishment I have achieved which space won’t permit. I am thankful to ALLAH everyday for giving me a new lease on life and a chance to study and show myself approved.

Come with me as I journey with The Hon. Louis Farrakhan towards becoming one with Almighty God and being perfected, so we may be as we were in the beginning ---created in the image and likeness of our Creator.

Thank you for reading these few words

Should Black people have celebrated 4th of July?

Whose Independence? Since 1776 you, Black man, have been worshiping the 4th of July along with the real author of the 4th of July, (the white man) as a day of Independence for themselves.

It is the white slave-master and his children who enjoy setting forth the 4th of July as a day of rejoicing over achieving this country’s Independence from any other foreign source. Now, the history of the 4th of July shows that it is the Independence Day of the American white man. They wrote the Declaration of Independence for themselves. The white man did not put anything in the Declaration of Independence for the benefit of the Black Man, who was the servitude - slave of the white man at that time.

The joy which the black slave experienced on these holidays of the white man was due to the Black man getting a rest from his labor and the days which the white man had set aside for celebration. That is all the Black slave was rejoicing over, that he did not have to work that day. But, you are free now; and you do not need this for an excuse for your worship of the 4th of July. There is no further need for us to worship the gaining of the white man’s independence. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad

What should be done with the threat of world war growing?

"Dissatisfaction has reached such a percentage that it is bound to bring about universal war, since the corruption is universal. The continuing disagreement between the heads of the nations is referred to as CONFUSED and CONFLICT in the Bible and Holy Qur-an. In this world of universal corruption and crises and the ever-growing threat of universal war, we, the so-called American Negroes, the Lost-Found members of the tribe Shabazz, should unite and take our stand on the side of Allah (God), His religion of peace (Islam) and our own nation (the Black People.)" The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad
